Chapter XXIII
MISS JULIA It was now ten o'clock of this eventful morning in quiet old Spring Valley. A hush seemed to have fallen on all the town. The streets were well-nigh deserted so far as one might see from the public square. Only one figure seemed animated by a definite purpose. Miss Julia Delafield came rapidly as she might across the street from the foot of the stair that led up to Judge Henderson's office.
